What usually is the follow up action once the CoI reaches a finding & apportions guilt to external agencies like HAL or ADA for gross negligence?
Every aircraft that is handed over to the IAF goes through a full gambit of flight testing before the handover process takes place. From that point onwards the maintenance of the aircraft is handled by IAF BRD. Given neither of these pilots are CTP's most likely these were commission aircraft.

Brahmos Missile test from an Su-30 MKI a threat to region : Pak Foreign Office
Foreign Office Spokesman Dr Muhammad Faisal on Thursday said that India’s latest test of BrahMos cruise missile was a threat to regional peace and stability.
Addressing the weekly press briefing, he said that such moves threatened regional peace and stability. “They also expose Indian duplicity that it only pays lip service to the arms control regimes. Pakistan has consistently raised serious concerns about these developments as they negatively impact regional security and stability,” he said.
“Pakistan continues to stress the need for a meaningful dialogue for confidence-building, avoidance of arms race and promotion of strategic stability in South Asia. Pakistan’s proposal for a strategic restraint regime for South Asia remains on the table.”
Dr Faisal said that the recent increase in missile tests by India after its membership of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) “demonstrates its policy of duplicity” as it had refrained from any such tests in the period before receiving the membership, likely to help its chances of gaining it.

I believe that the Su 30 intakes are sufficient to accommodate more powerful engines. In fact Russians are already upgrading their Su 30 SM ( Russian version of Su 30 MKI ) to SM2 standard ( proposed Super Sukhoi upgrade for MKI )

The Super Sukhoi Su-30SM2
The upgraded version of the Su-30SM will not only have improved combat features but will also use various parts and equipment from the Su-35. As a result, the maintenance of a large fleet of both types of modern fighters will be simplified. This is especially important in relation to engines, the most expensive aircraft components.
The Su-30SM2 will receive the AL-41F-1S engine, which is also used in the Su-35S. Compared to the power plant used so far in the Su-30SM, its thrust will increase by more than 16%, to 14,500 kg at full post-combustion. In addition, it reduces the cost of maintenance, by doubling the interval between revisions, now reaching 4 thousand hours. Other improvements and plasma ignition made it more efficient, reducing its fuel consumption.
Su-30SM2
Changes to onboard electronics and software will allow the use of new missiles and bombs designed to arm the Su-35 and the fifth-generation Su-57 stealth fighter.
Other improvements include a new radar, the Irbis-E, a powerful PESA-type radar also inherited from the Su-35. It will allow the Su-30SM2 to detect ground and air targets from a greater distance, with certain anti-stealth capabilities. It will also allow the fighter to use the latest long-range missiles.
The Su-30SM2s will receive the latest integrated multi-channel communication, data exchange, navigation, and identification (OSNOD) system, developed for the Su-57 and to be installed on all combat aircraft. Among its advantages, it allows aircraft and drones to communicate with each other, maintain high-speed contact with ground control points, and integrate into modern combat networks.”
It’s not possible. Russian won’t share source code for integration of western components and weapons into Su 30. It has a history of not certifying airworthiness of our own MAWS and EW components on Mig 21s and Su 30s, hindering our own EWS development. It’s just a fanboy dream which unfortunately will never materialise.
